American Cancer Society Relay For Life Juanita Kick-Off Celebration

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life Juanita
will host its annual kick-off event at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23 at Juanita
High School Futures Room. 



Friends, neighbors, cancer survivors, caregivers
and anyone interested in learning more about Relay For Life are encouraged to
attend. 

This year’s American Cancer Society Relay For Life Juanita will be May 17 - 18 at the Juanita High School football field. Volunteers are needed to help organize and recruit teams, secure community support, coordinate logistics, obtain refreshments and prizes, and many other areas.



The kickoff offers information about American
Cancer Society’s mission of saving lives faster by helping people stay well,
helping people get well, finding cures and fighting back. Refreshments will be
provided. Guests will have the opportunity to win prizes and learn more about
the exciting activities planned for this year’s Relay For Life.



Relay For Life is an overnight event where teams
of local businesses, schools, churches, community groups and families build
awareness and raise funds — prior to and at the event — to fight cancer. While
the main objective of Relay For Life is to raise money for cancer research and
cancer patients, the event helps spread cancer awareness, celebrate the lives
of survivors, remember those who lost their lives to cancer and unite a
community in the fight against cancer.
